I'm going to start this post by saying these rantings are my own personal opinion, and are not intended to promote one device over another, and have nothing to do with any supplier. So...blast away at me, but remember, you're just attacking an opinion.

I guess I'm kinda confused with all this talk about the Bulli vs the GG that has been running for a few days now. I personally didn't see the need to trot out the Drama Llama for this one, other than Tim and Imeo's feelings got hurt.
If I was to compare the GG to the Bullli, my first question would be....
"Why"?
Why on earth would anybody compare the two?
That's like comparing my wife's toyota to my race car!!! Apples to oranges, squares to circles.... you get the idea.
I'm not in any way, shape, or form a fan boy of anybody. Those of you who know me, also know that I use a Prodigy, a Janty Stick, a SD, and many other PV's in addition to my GG.
That having been said, my question is this.......
Isn't the Bulli just another 3.7 battery mod when you strip away all the pretty stuff? Yeah, it's pretty, but what advantage does it have over the SD, or the Janty Stick, or any other 3.7 device?
From what I can see.... NONE!!!
It's a $150..00 (before shipping) 3.7 PV.........that's it....period.....full stop.....end of report!!!
If you want to pay for pretty....buy a (Your 5 or 6 volt device here!!!). At least that way, you're getting something different for your money. Why should I pay that much money for a device that's basically a one trick pony?
Yes, it's pretty...
Yes, it's slim...
Yes, it works...
All of these attributes also apply to the SD, the Silver bullet, the Adaptever, The Janty Stick........ ( I'm running out of names here, so you add whatever else you can think of here.)

Again, this is only my personal opinion, but I'm hesitant about shelling out money for a new e-cig unless it is truely different. You can see from my own personal inventory, that I used to do just that. Buy every new PV that hit the market. All I ended up with was a lot of PV's that did the exact same thing!!!
The only ones that are truely different are my GG and my Prodigy. They are making inroads where others fear to go. OK....the Volcano is just bizzare, and it gets a nod for being VERY different, but who has $800.00 to plop down for a PV that has the portability of a brick? I can just envision me taking it to work, can't you?
Here's the bottom line.......
You can take ANY 3.7 device you want, put it up against any other device that you want and they will perform EXACTLY THE SAME!!!!
Why? Because you are still using the same attys, the same batteries, the same voltage, the same carts as every other device on the market!!! Nothing has changed except the life of the batteries!!!
Everything else is purely astetics!!!

Oh well....enough out of me.... Sorry to have taken so much space and time with this, but this has hit a BIG nerve with me, and I had to get this out!
thanks for putting up with me!!
Peace!!!:oops:

It's got nothing to do with putting up with you Chris, far from it as I couldn't agree more

Using my GG Grant with 6v gave me the nearest experience ever in comparison to an analogue - if anything, even better. Added to that, Imeo is constantly coming up with ideas & inventions to improve the GG vaping experience. For example his auto feed system& his new atomiser.

Thanks for bringing up those two new items Crissie!! Those had slipped my (somewhat feeble) mind.
They are new and exciting advances in vaping! That's what gets me revved up...not the same old reinvention of the wheel.:D

I am still very, very happy with my Grant but the flexibility of having all those different batteries with GG Trans made me want to buy especially with the protected batteries!! Since Tim and Imeo have fallen out I won't be having my GG trans :( That mamo slim or whatever its called is out of the question its not powerful enough!! I guess it is time to eye up the Prodigy and I still have GG grant!!

Bite Me, you so do NOT have a feeble mind :D

Tribal, I'm still hoping Tim & Imeo can kiss & make up - well at least the make up part ;)

I agree Chrissie, I know that if I buy Prodigy it will not work as good as a GG trans :( I really don't want one but want the high voltage hehe!

As for the makeup part, I hope they do kiss and post it to youtube :p bonus points if Iken is involved but thats just my fantasy hehe!!!

and the any battery Trans, and the 3 cigs in one and the holes for air, and the locking button, and the wireless style, and the button that never brakes, and the 7,2 volt smoke and the immortal adapters 801 and 510 and the e-cig from scratch......................., and I dont remember any more:D:D:D
